On this wealth order

I read in the Washington Post yesterday that in Scotland/Britain, there is a legal measure (mandate? Or ordinance?) titled “Unexplained Wealth Order.”

Suits are currently being filed against ex-president Trump on his two golf courses. (It is said that neither has ever turned a profit. But taxes? money-laundering?)

I also read this morning about ex-president Obama’s fabulous birthday party on his and Michelle’s Martha Vineyard summer residence. So, would there be cause to press legal charges in Massachusetts under an Unexplained Wealth Order?

May we ask, how do politicians get so rich? I would bet Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a very cogent and clear answer.
